Once again we have been super busy so here is a round up of the last few days with Edwin.

Day 20

Edwin was climbing up our notice board using the magnetic clips to get up!

Day 21

We found him sitting on a shelf today! Eboni thought this was great 🙂

Day 22

On this day Edwin had been feeling peckish in the night and was in the Pringles tube!

Day 23

On Edwin’s next to last day with us, we found him playing cards with the little Furbies on the table! They were playing 21 and everyone had bust apart from one Furby 🙂

Day 24 – The last day 😦

So this was Edwin’s last day with us. We found a paper covered box on our kitchen table with a note on the top that said to ‘Please Open Together’

So we all opened the box and inside was new pj’s for all of us, the DVD Elf and a jar with cookie mix in it. There was a letter in there with Edwin too. We thought this was a lovely way for Edwin to say goodbye 🙂

Edwin says he will be back next year and we are looking forward to it already 😉

On day 15 Edwin was found on the window ledge with 4 letters in his hands. The first was addressed to all three children and the letter inside was explains that the other envelopes had blank writing paper in it for the children to do their list on for Santa. The letter was lovely and talked a bit about Edwins time with us.

That evening we sat and wrote letters for Santa and we asked Edwin to take them back to Santa, which he did.

On the 16th Edwin had obviously been playing with one of the Christmas decorations! We have a springy reindeer soft toy and Edwin was discovered stuck within the spring!

The 17th was one of Edwin’s more random days! He was hanging on my underwear dryer, pegged at all four limbs!

The 18th the girls thought he hadn’t come back 😦 It wasn’t until Cliff made a drink and went in the fridge that he was discovered! He was sitting in one of the door pockets and had turned some milk green!!

The 19th found Edwin greeting our newest christmas decoration, the Nutcracker! He was in a bowl filled with Hama beads next to the Nutcracker and had been putting the beads on him!

I waited to post these 2 days together so you get the whole picture!
On the 12th when we got up Edwin, Barbie, Billy (from Butlins) and the cow were having a fab tea party!

So the girls went to school as normal…but when we got home from picking them up the tea party had ended and Edwin had another surprise!

He had turned up with magic seeds and magic compost! Well obviously we had to plant the seeds. The kids had no idea what they were going to grow into, it was fab 🙂
So this morning when we got up…candy canes had grown! How magical was that 😉
